Conservative commentator Michael Medved at CPAC |
I posted earlier about Oliver North speaking at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) which is the right-wing's favorite week to try and "out cheer-lead" each other as speaker after speaker and conference panel after conference panel tries to make the movement sound like the most rational folks on earth. Which, by the way, they aren't.
Just to show you how loose the rhetoric gets, earlier today during a panel called "Can Libertarians and Social Conservatives Ever Get Along?," conservative commentator Michael Medved flatly stated "There has never been a state in this country that has ever banned gay marriage."
No punchline. That was it. No state had ever denied same-sex couples marriage rights.
As everyone in American knows (and anyone who reads The Randy Report) 30 states specifically prohibit same-sex marriage. Only 17 states plus Washington DC allow for marriage equality.
This is what goes on at these things. A WHOLE lot of misinformation.
